Sturdy enough that it looks like I could climb into it were the seat big enough to fit. The diameter of the tubing is much thicker on this one and it is very sturdy. That said, once it is assembled, this swing is much nicer than our other Graco (sorry, don't know the specific name for that one, but it rocks back and forth as opposed to side-to-side like this one). This designed-by-Beelzebub assembly required is the reason we give this product 4 instead of 5 stars. My suggestion is unless you have a team of elves handy, plan for an entire evening to get this swing together. So it took us about 2 hours to get this done. Thing is, all the elastic bands and screws and other assorted clicking fastener stuff requires you to have fingers the size of a 3-month-old to reach because of the little nooks and crannies these things are hidden in. It arrived with 4 screws to fasten, so it sure looked like it would be easy out of the box. my admiration to anyone who says they "put this swing together in 30 minutes." This was not our experience. Bottom line, if you have any sense about you, get a plug in swing (AC adapter is how it will be listed) unless you want the joy of having your baby run out of juice at 2am when the swing is your go-to place for getting her/him to sleep. The original Graco was battery powered, and after spending $10 per week for batteries every week for 3 months, we decided we could have bought this swing, plugged it in, and it would have nearly paid for itself by now. We originally received a Graco swing as a gift when our daughter was born.
